TAG-IN-A-BAG

Single door RF/ID Proximity Access Control Unit

1. INTRODUCTION

The TIAB (Tag-in-a-Bag) is a versatile weather-resistant proximity
access control unit (fig. 1), designed to limit access to restricted
areas, while permitting authorized people to enter. This product is
the best in its class - using state-of-the-art proximity (non-contact)
RF/ID technology. It was designed to serve your customers’
needs, while making installation and use simple and easy.

The TIAB control unit includes a keypad with an internal proximity
reader and a display that provide full access control operation.

The TIAB control unit can be programmed to offer one of two
security levels for opening the door:

• Level 1 (default): Valid tag only.

• Level 2: Valid tag and

code.

The TIAB control unit transmits 125 kHz RF signal. A valid
proximity tag (fig. 3), presented to the control unit or to the
optional external reader (fig. 2), transmits a coded RF signal back
to the TIAB control unit, causing it to energize an output relay.
The optional external reader is designed for installations in which
an additional reader is required. It is connected to the TIAB
control unit via 4 wires.

The TIAB control unit is installed adjacent to the secured door’s
frame. It is connected to the door’s EMS (Electro-Magnetic Strike)
or magnetic lock and operates by either a 12V DC or AC power
supply. The TIAB control unit includes internal non-volatile
memory, unaffected by power failure. The internal memory stores
data of up to 250 tags and PIN codes (used for security level 2
only). Each PIN is composed of 4 digits.

PIN (Personal Identification Number)

Figure 1. TIAB Keypad Figure 2. RDR-1B External Reader

The proximity tags (fig. 3) are
totally sealed and do not require
any maintenance.

The tags are powered from the RF
signal transmitted from the TIAB
control unit.

In a case of loss or theft of a tag, the tag data can be easily
deleted from the TIAB control unit memory list.
The standard TIAB package includes 10 user tags. Additional
tags are available.

r

(op

)

per

)

(

k

)

A. Remove the case closure screw.
B. Insert a screwdriver in the bottom recess of the base, and

use it to separate the base from the keypad assembly.

C. Place the base on the installation surface, mark the drilling

points, drill the holes and insert plastic anchors, if necessary.

D. Fit the base into the rubber gasket and use the 3 mounting

screws to attach the base and gasket to the selected surface

CAUTION! If you are installing several TIAB units or TIAB
with RDR-1B, locate units at least 60 cm (2 ft) apart.

Attention! The Tamper

switch is activated when the
TIAB control unit’s front
cover is removed or when
the base is forcibly pulled
from the mounting surface,
which causes tamper switch
tab to break (see figure 4).
It is therefore especially
important to firmly attach
this tab to the wall with a
long screw.

Figure 4. Base and Rear Gasket

IMPORTANT! Do not install the RDR-1B on a metal surface or a metal door frame, since this decreases the read range significantly.
If you have to install the reader on a metal surface, use a spacer so that the reader will be at least 1 cm (3/8 in.) away from the metal.
You may use RDR-BACK which is an optionally available spacer designed specifically for this purpose.

4. WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR ACCESS CONTROL

6. PROGRAMMING

6.1 General Description

The TIAB control unit recognizes a single 4-digit master code
which is used for all programming modes. This code
accompanies a tag which is defined as the master tag.

When first powering-up the Tag-in-a-Bag™ system:

If the display blinks “00” and the green LED flashes, present a
tag close to the keypad. When the display shows “Cd”, enter a
4-digit PIN code and press “#”. This defines the presented tag
as a Master-tag, used for programming. Then proceed to
program the system (Section 6.3).

Reprogramming can be done as many times as necessary, but
for security reasons it is restricted to the master tag holder.

Important:

1. The person in charge must have an updated list which

includes up to 250 tags holders names and the PIN code
assigned to each of the tags. The table attached to the
TIAB User Guide may be used.

2. The master tag should be used for programming only and
must be kept in a safe place!

An existing code must be deleted first if a new code is to be
saved in the same memory address.

Note: The TIAB control unit reverts to normal mode after a 30
second non-activity timeout, or if “

While waiting for the programmer’s selection, the internal buzzer
continuously sounds short beeps.

6.2 Master Tag Programming

Remove jumper Buzzer beeps and stops

Reinstall jumper

Important! The TIAB control unit does NOT operate unless a
valid master tag and master code have been programmed.

A. Remove the Master Reset Jumper (fig. 5). The TIAB buzzer

will start beeping.

B. Once the buzzer stops beeping, re-install the jumper and,

within 10 seconds, key in the master code “8422” followed
by “#”. As a result, the TIAB control unit will go into the
ADD mode (blinking green LED) and and will display the
master code memory address - flashing “00”.

C. Place the tag, assigned as the master tag, within range of

the keypad. The buzzer will beep twice and the display will
show “Cd” (Code).

D. Key in the desired master PIN code (4 digits) and then

press “#”. The programming of the master tag code is
completed and the unit returns to normal position.

Notes:

1. If the Auxiliary output is enabled, it operates for all tags.

2. Ambush Digit is applicable for security level 2: Ambush Digit is
the fifth digit added to the user PIN code. If the user is forced
to enter under threat, pressing the Ambush digit after the last
digit of the PIN code activates the Panic output.

3. In the Toggle mode, presenting a valid tag/code turns the
output on and presenting it again turns the output off.

4. When selecting security level 1 (no PIN code required) it is still

possible to enter a PIN code for each tag, during
programming. However, in normal operation the TIAB will not
prompt the user for the PIN code.

5. Selecting security level 1 does not affect the master tag. The

master tag always requires a PIN code.

6. Disabling a function by 00, will show

7. SYSTEM NORMAL OPERATION AND FUNCTIONAL TEST

7.1 Normal Operation

Normal operation is the mode in which the door lock is opened
when a valid tag is presented to the reader (in security level 2,
followed by valid user PIN).

The TIAB control unit can use the internal reader or an optional
external reader to read proximity tags.

Pressing “” and “#” simultaneously activates the Panic output
for 5 seconds. In this case, the buzzer does not beep.

The LEDs functions in normal operation are summarized in the
next table.

Time Out

A delay of more than 5 seconds, between presenting a tag and
starting to key user PIN code, or between any two digits, cancels
the operation.

If you enter three consecutive wrong codes, the TIAB control unit
will be disabled for 30 seconds and the buzzer will beep rapidly.

This device complies with the essential requirements and provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio and
telecommunications terminal equipment..
